Nice trolling. I had thought the species of clever trolls became extinct in
early September 1993.
Young people, like those born before the birth of the Web in 1990, might
actually believe you. They are advised to check some basic facts from e.g.
http://www.w3.org/History.html

Just in case you were (half-)serious, after all: Find a good modern primer
on web authoring and read it. Then find another one and read it. My point is
that virtually all primers around contain some wrong ideas and poor
approaches, and reading another will probably help you to keep a critical
mind regarding the first primer's content.
Remember to forget everything you think you know, before you start reading.
